I broke the 5 second rule

My confession for the week :

I broke the 5 second rule today.
Ok, since no one was around to see me break this rule. Does it still count as a break-age? hmmmm....

Popcorn started out in a bowl on top of my laptop.
BUT
ended up in the middle of the floor

My knee hit the laptop while I was typing.
(multi-tasking, people....multi-tasking)

I was deep in thought so I let the popcorn sit there for 10 seconds.
OK OK More like 20 seconds

I did eventually pick the popcorn back up....
AND YES
I ate it.

I wonder if those extra seconds caused me to injest even more bacteria?

Oh, ya know what...
This was not my only confession for the week.
I forgot all about the ones that I confessed over at Beki's blog.

Do you have a confession?
Visit Beki and let her know.
She is giving away one of her hand stamped necklaces.
Hurry because this one ends tomorrow.

Wow you really did break that rule. You should be severely punished. Of course I broke that rule today too. The dog knocked over my jerky so I picked it up after chasing him outside. It was a good 10 seconds (I swear). So I think our punishment should be isolation with a computer of course!

LOL! no worries, I dropped a whole package of Reeses Pieces and still ate it after 10 seconds. I was afraid I would get violently sick, but to my surprise I'm still okay ;)

Okay, clearly you don't have a dog. That popcorn would have never made it past two seconds on my floor before he ate it all up. On the bright side, I never have to vacuum up spiilled food or crumbs :)

Who made up the 5 second rule anyhow? Never once have I heard of anybody dying from 6 seconds and beyond.

That rule doesn't really apply to popcorn because it is so bumpy and not every side of the popcorn touched the floor, so you are off the hook!

Love it! I think that's just territory w/having kids! Don't even ask what all I've eaten that Bella has handed me...

The 5 second rule does not apply to junk food...
As for the Zebra Cake... Sounds EXACTLY like something I would do. That, and eating behind the cupboard doors where they can't see me.

No, there is no rule for popcorn! Popcorn is always good - no matter what!
